On New Year's Day, Qin Bai got up very early and went around putting up all the Spring Festival couplets, while also carrying gifts to pay New Year's visits.

Pei Wanyin and Ling Xiangxue are easy to talk to, since they no longer have any elders.

However, the etiquette for Shen Guaiguai and Xiao Yanjiao's side couldn't be lacking, so he had already prepared their gifts.

When Luo Xiao saw him arrive, she kindly served him the newly developed breakfast.

Qin Bai looked at the dark, sesame-like lump in front of him, and finally couldn't refuse the hospitality and ate one.

My face turned green. This thing wasn't exactly bad, but it was definitely not delicious either; the taste was just weird.

Luo Xiao sat beside him, staring intently: "How does it taste? Is it alright?"

"Mmm, delicious, especially delicious."

Qin Bai vowed to give it his all, using every acting skill he had ever possessed.

Luo Xiao sighed and turned to Yin Shuyi, whispering, "It doesn't look very appetizing."

Yin Shuyi glared at him: "Why aren't you confident anymore? I told you not to give it to Xiaobai."

"I was thinking that since we've been developing this for so long, someone should have to try it first. Luckily, we didn't eat it."

Qin Bai's mind went completely blank.

This guy is really something.

So what if I tricked your daughter into marrying me? Is it really necessary to retaliate against me like this?

That's a bit too blatant, isn't it?

You've channeled all that energy you used to put into food; you truly have an innovative spirit.

I should stay away from this father-in-law in the future; I always feel like I'm going to become a guinea pig instead of a novice.

After returning home, Qin Bai sat on the sofa, lost in thought and feeling somewhat melancholy.

Cheng Jing walked over to him and looked at him: "What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

"Are you thinking about how to invite them to celebrate the Chinese New Year together?"

"My mom really understands me, but... I don't really have a good reason, and after getting them all together..."

Cheng Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry about these things. I've already made arrangements. Qingyan and Muyao's parents are both here. There's no reason for you to go and speak to them. It would be against etiquette."

Qin Bai's fingers trembled with excitement: "Mom, you really are my mom! When are they coming?"

"What's the rush? Go help me with the chores first." Cheng Jing walked towards the kitchen.

"Okay."

A while later, the doorbell rang.

Ling Xiangxue arrived with Wen Si and Ming Yuan.

Happy New Year, Aunt Cheng.

"No need to be so polite, please come and sit down."

Ling Xiangxue took off her coat and hung it up: "Aunt Cheng, what do you need? I'll help you."

"You're a guest, how can I let you help me?"

"Is this vegetable already washed?" Ling Xiangxue had already tied her hair up and was standing in the kitchen.

Cheng Jing smiled helplessly. This girl was good in every way, except that she was too much of a virtuous wife and loving mother. She didn't even know how to fight back when she was bullied.

Over the next period of time, the number of people in the family gradually increased.

Pei Wanyin, the little sickly girl and her family, Shen Guaiguai and Yao Rou all came over.

Qin Bai looked at the lively home, a gentle smile on his lips.

That's what makes it feel like Chinese New Year.

With the warm sun shining brightly, the start of a new year is a good omen.

With many people working together, the New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready before evening.

Fireworks and firecrackers went off outside.

Qin Bai stood in the courtyard, gazing at the vibrant colors of the flowers in the distance.

Pei Wanyin walked up to him and helped him tie his scarf.

Are you cold?

Qin Bai smiled and shook his head: "It's probably because of the mild winter. I always feel that winters aren't as cold as they used to be."

Pei Wanyin poked his heart with her finger: "Is it because it's warm here?"

Qin Bai grasped her fingers in his hand: "No, it's because you're by my side."

"Hehe." Pei Wanyin chuckled, "You should say all those sweet words to them. I'm not buying it."

"Really? Then why can't you suppress your smile?"

"No way!" The young woman was transformed into a shy little girl.

A dazzling firework streaked across the sky, and in the instant it dissipated, Qin Bai kissed those delicate lips.

"Little White, Little White, you... um?"

The moment Luo Qingyan opened the door, she saw the beginning of the 18+ content.

So they've already started sneaking a bite?

Pei Wanyin hurriedly pushed Qin Bai away, her face flushed as she looked at the little yandere: "You, you two can talk."

Then, she jogged into the living room.

"Sister Luo, we..."

Seeing Qin Bai approaching, Luo Qingyan immediately placed one hand on his chest.

"Stop, don't try to continue what you were doing."

"When can we continue?"

The yandere narrowed her eyes: "What are you planning?"

"No."

"Heh! Little Bai, I know you too well. I bet you're itching to make your move, aren't you?"

"Sister Luo, I'm innocent!"

Suddenly, Luo Qingyan's expression changed, and she said softly, "Actually, I don't have any problem with it, I just don't know if they will agree."

Qin Bai said excitedly, "Really? Then I can... Ah~~~"

Luo Qingyan's slippers landed on Qin Bai's feet.

Still feeling unsatisfied, he stomped on it a few more times.

He gritted his teeth fiercely: "Fine, I knew that's what you were thinking. You're dreaming, humph!"

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the living room in a huff.

Qin Bai stared at her retreating figure with a bitter expression.

Spicy meatballs.

The plan was discovered.

Is my plan really going to fall through?
